When the New York Jets signed inside linebacker C.J. Mosley to a five-year, $85 million deal in 2019 they believed their struggles on the defensive end of the ball were finally coming to an end. But two years later, all that they got from Mosley was two games that he didn’t even complete.

Mosley certainly knows that he didn’t fulfill his end of the deal, struggling with a groin injury in 2019 and opting out in 2020. But he is determined to make amends in 2021 and is entering the season with “a little added chip” on his shoulder.

“When I get back on the field, I definitely want to make sure they respect the name again,” Mosley told reporters earlier this week.

Mosley came to the Jets with a glowing resume that included four Pro Bowl nods and four Second-Team All-Pro selections. But his time in New York immediately got off to a bad start, as he injured his groin in the first game of the 2019 season. He returned several weeks later, only to get injured again, and ended up having surgery. Concerns about COVID-19 then prompted him to skip the entire 2020 season.

But despite the lengthy break, which Mosley refers to as “a two-year hiatus”, he believes he can still be an impactful player when he steps on the field.

“Yeah, I don’t have any doubts in myself. I’m here, so we’ll let the play do the talking,” Mosley explained while adding that the injury is now behind him and that he’s feeling “great”.

Before arriving in New York, C.J. Mosley spent five years with the Baltimore Ravens. While in Baltimore, he developed into an all-around contributor and was considered being one of the best ILBs in the league.

Mosley has 588 career tackles to go with 8.5 sacks, 32 QB hits, 10 interceptions, 37 pass deflections, six forced fumbles, and two defensive touchdowns.

New York Jets’ big offseason acquisition C.J. Mosley didn’t have a chance to prove his worth this season, as he missed all but two games in 2019 due to groin injury. Still, Mosley hopes that he will have a chance to change this before the end of the year.

Mosley recently discussed his rehab process with ESPN, saying that he recently underwent a procedure of injecting platelet-rich plasma in order to heal faster and get back on the field this season. According to the 27-year-old linebacker, if this treatment doesn’t work, he will have to get a season-ending surgery.

“I’m trying to do everything I can to avoid surgery and play,” – said Mosley. “Worst-case scenario: I’ll have to get surgery if next week doesn’t go well.”

“If I can do anything to avoid ending my season, I’m going to try it,” – he added. “That’s really the main reason why I got the shot. I have a 50-50 chance. I’d rather do that than cut my body open. That was the thinking on that.”

C.J. Mosley started his stint with Jets by recorded six tackles, one interception and one touchdown in less than three-quarters of Week 1 game against Buffalo Bills. Unfortunately, he also picked up an injury in the same game, having to sit out for five weeks.

Mosley returned in Week 7 against New England Patriots, recording three tackles before aggravating the injury and leaving the field. Initially, the Jets projected he could be out for six weeks, but that doesn’t seem like a realistic timeline at the moment. Given the team is out of playoff picture, they may end up deciding to keep him sidelined for the rest of the year.
